Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method of receiving a discovery signal by a user equipment in a wireless communication system, comprising: receiving a discovery signal configuration containing a first channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) configuration from a base station; receiving a second CSI-RS configuration for CSI measurement from the base station; receiving a second CSI-RS based on the second CSI-RS configuration; reporting CSI containing at least one of a precoding matrix index (PMI), a rank indicator (RI), and a channel quality indicator (CQI) based on the second CSI-RS; performing radio resource management (RRM) measurement on the discovery signal based on the discovery signal configuration; and transmitting a result of the RRM measurement containing reference signal received power (RSRP) information on the discovery signal to the base station, wherein the first CSI-RS configuration contained in the discovery signal configuration is configured separately with respect to the second CSI-RS configuration, wherein if the discovery signal corresponds to a first CSI-RS, which is received based on the first CSI-RS configuration, and a first cell ID corresponds to a cell-specific reference signal, the first CSI-RS and the cell-specific reference signal are assumed to be quasi co-located (QCLed), and wherein at least one of radio channel properties assumed to be QCLed between the first CSI-RS for the RRM measurement and the cell-specific reference signal is different from radio channel properties assumed to be QCLed between the second CSI-RS for CSI measurement and the cell-specific reference signal.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first CSI-RS and the cell-specific reference signal are assumed to be QCLed with respect to a time synchronization-related property and a frequency synchronization-related property and wherein the second CSI-RS and the cell-specific reference signal are assumed to be QCLed with respect to the frequency synchronization-related property.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first CSI-RS and the cell-specific reference signal are assumed to be QCLed with respect to large-scale properties of a radio channel containing average delay and Doppler shift and wherein the second CSI-RS and the cell-specific reference signal are not assumed to be QCLed with respect to average delay.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein if a primary synchronization signal and a secondary synchronization signal correspond to the first cell ID, the primary synchronization signal and the secondary synchronization signal are assumed to be QCLed with the first CSI-RS and the primary synchronization signal and the secondary synchronization signal are not assumed to be QCLed with the second CSI-RS.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the discovery signal comprises at least one of the cell-specific reference signal, a primary synchronization signal, a secondary synchronization signal, and the first CSI-RS based on the first CSI-RS configuration and wherein the first CSI-RS is assumed to be QCLed with the rest of signals except the first CSI-RS among the discovery signal.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein a reception periodicity of the discovery signal for the RRM measurement is configured by 40 ms, 80 ms or 160 ms and wherein a reception periodicity of the second CSI-RS is configured by 5 ms, 10 ms, 20 ms, 40 ms or 80 ms.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first CSI-RS for the RRM measurement is transmitted by non-zero power and wherein the second CSI-RS is transmitted by zero power.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first CSI-RS is received from a neighboring cell or a neighboring transmission point.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein if the first CSI-RS and the second CSI-RS are received via an identical resource in an identical subframe, both of the RRM measurement based on the first CSI-RS and the CSI measurement based on the second CSI-RS are performed.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein if the first CSI-RS and the second CSI-RS are received via an identical resource in an identical subframe, the RRM measurement is performed based on QCL assumption between the second CSI-RS and the cell-specific reference signal instead of QCL assumption between the first CSI-RS and the cell-specific reference signal.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein if the first CSI-RS and the second CSI-RS are received via an identical resource in an identical subframe, the first CSI-RS is assumed to be QCLed with the second CSI-RS.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first CSI-RS and the second CSI-RS are assumed to be QCLed when the number of antenna ports of the first CSI-RS is equal to or less than the number of antenna ports of the second CSI-RS and a scrambling ID of the first CSI-RS and a scrambling ID of the second CSI-RS are identical to each other.
13. A user equipment receiving a discovery signal in a wireless communication system, comprising: a receiver to receive a discovery signal configuration containing a first channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) configuration from a base station, to receive a second CSI-RS configuration for CSI measurement from the base station and to receive a second CSI-RS based on the second CSI-RS configuration; a processor to perform radio resource management (RRM) measurement on the discovery signal based on the discovery signal configuration; and a transmitter to transmit CSI containing at least one of a precoding matrix index (PMI), a rank indicator (RI), and a channel quality indicator (CQI) based on the second CSI-RS, and to transmit a result of the RRM measurement containing reference signal received power (RSRP) information on the discovery signal to the base station, wherein the first CSI-RS configuration contained in the discovery signal configuration is configured separately with respect to the second CSI-RS configuration, wherein if the discovery signal corresponds to a first CSI-RS, which is received based on the first CSI-RS configuration, and a first cell ID corresponds to a cell-specific reference signal, the first CSI-RS and the cell-specific reference signal are assumed to be quasi co-located (QCLed) and wherein at least one of radio channel properties assumed to be QCLed between the first CSI-RS for the RRM measurement and the cell-specific reference signal is different from radio channel properties assumed to be QCLed between the second CSI-RS for CSI measurement and the cell-specific reference signal.
14. A method of configuring a discovery signal by a base station in a wireless communication system, comprising: transmitting, to a user equipment, a discovery signal configuration containing a first channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) configuration; transmitting, to the user equipment, a second CSI-RS configuration for CSI measurement; transmitting, to the user equipment, a second CSI-RS based on the second CSI-RS configuration; receiving, from the user equipment, CSI containing at least one of a precoding matrix index (PMI), a rank indicator (RI), and a channel quality indicator (CQI) based on the second CSI-RS; receiving, from the user equipment, radio resource management (RRM) information on the discovery signal, which is measured based on the discovery signal configuration, wherein the first CSI-RS configuration contained in the discovery signal configuration is configured separately with respect to the second CSI-RS configuration, wherein if the discovery signal corresponds to a first CSI-RS according to the first CSI-RS configuration and a first cell ID contained in the first CSI-RS configuration corresponds to a cell-specific reference signal, the first CSI-RS and the cell-specific reference signal are assumed to be quasi co-located (QCLed) and wherein at least one of radio channel properties assumed to be QCLed between the first CSI-RS for the RRM measurement and the cell-specific reference signal is different from radio channel properties assumed to be QCLed between the second CSI-RS for CSI measurement and the cell-specific reference signal.
